Libera "Sanctus" on Japanese TV

Libera appeared on Japanese TV today! Thanks to Yuki's friend, Sunflower, we can see the video of it! :D

Cute beginning scene with Kavana, Eoghan, and Carlos handing out the robes to the younger boys. They're so old and responsible now! They all get their robes on, and it's so cute to see them bumping into each other as they all walk around like ghosts.

And could Isaac ham it up more putting his robe on the wrong way?! He is SUCH a goofball! :)

Some of the older boys who are "experts" sit and read while they wait for the younger ones to get ready. And then they go to sing.

Kavana making a funny face.

Eoghan making a funny face that cracks Kav up.

Michael's sooo cute! And Kuba just can't watch any more! :)

Isaac and Michael laughing.

Of course they goof off for a bit, and that's ALWAYS hilarious to watch. And oh, by the way, guess who's the director? I noticed him earlier but I wasn't sure exactly what he was there for...yes! Josh!!! He's very professional, and they seem to follow his orders very well.

First Josh says, "OK, positions, guys." And they line up.

"Right to the back of the church." Meaning sing to make your voice hit the back wall. :)

Here I think he says, "Stand up." Or something. :)

They perform a very lovely version of "Sanctus." I think it's live cause you can hear cars driving by outside! I want to know who's singing the high notes! :D

The 14 boys are Michael M, Kuba, Cassius, Eoghan, Matthew R-A, Kavana, Carlos, Luke, Henry, Matthew M, Jude, Dylan, Isaac and Michael U-R. I hope some of the missing boys were just busy studying for exams and that we'll see them at the concerts. :)

And it's like almost immediately after the song is over that the stage is a flurry of activity again. Ah well, I guess that's the joy of working with boys! :)

And hey! Matthew Madine wears glasses! Looking good! :D

Then we get some more cute goofing off stuff. One of my favorite parts was watching Kavana stand there all responsibly and answer questions so calmly while Isaac bounced around behind him begging for the camera's attention. Isaac is just so cute, how could you not pay attention to him?!

Kavana - "Ah, most of our hobbies actually. A lot of us play sport. A lot of us do music of our own like play instruments. Like I play the clarinet and the guitar and stuff. And just other things like that."

At this point Isaac comes from behind and makes bunny ears above Kavana's head. Hahahaha!!

Kavana - "Enjoy myself?" (Isaac still waving to camera) "I don't know. I probably listen to music. A lot of us like music, cause this sets you in the path of music."

But I could just see Kav all those years ago bouncing around just like that while all the bigger boys answered questions. And then (Mini) Ben before that, and Josh and Tom before that, and you can just keep going back! Ah well...they grow up I suppose. :') lol.

Finally Eoghan just pulls Isaac's hood over his face. So now we know those backwards hoods aren't JUST for keeping food off their robes! It was a great video! And a great advertisement for them in Japan!
